Description:This book is a tutorial on image processing. Each chapter explains basic concepts with words and figures, shows image processing results with photographs, and implements the operations in C. The C code in this book is based on a series of articles published in The C Users Journal from 1990 through 1993, and includes three entirely new chapters and six new appendices. The text and accompanying source code provide working edge detectors, filters, and histogram equalizers, I/O routines, display and print procedures that are ready to use, or can be modified for special applications. This book is geared towards programmers seeking tools for image processing, ranging from the basics to advanced techniques. The code was compiled with Microsoft C v6. The code should run using other compilers with little modification.
